CBC Radio 3 has announced several new initiavies related to their live sessions series. The Radio 3 Sessions are now slated to be a podcast, a TV show and a new compilation CD.

The podcast launches September 12th and will be hosted by Tariq Hussain, It will record Canadian artists live off-the-floor as they experiment with alternate arrangements and new songs. The TV show, titled In Session will be a half hour program that premieres on CBC Country Canada on Wednesday October 3rd. .

I'm not too sure how this is Volume 3. I own Volume 1 and I love it, but the only other R3 compilations that I know of were the Mint Records specific sessions disc released at their anniversary and the New Music Canada comp. Are either of those Vol 2?
